Gone are the days of the algorithm allowing you to stumble upon a guy recording himself working at a 7/11 at 2am, or a 9 second video of a frog jumping 4 feet high. I want to say it all started changing around 2018. This is when Fallon and Kimmel clips began being pushed down our throats, and it’s all been downhill since then. Whatever happened to the sugarman08s of the world?

Yes its hard to find them . I nedd more hsitory channels to sleep to if any one got recommendations

youtube is TV now

How the hell did you find these.. it feels like a relic

I get recommended hella videos with like 150 views since a year ago or something

I disagree. Ya'll just more interested in bullshit. Algorithms exist for a reason...

if you have a niche interest you can get quality content every once in a while

Forums used to highlight random videos which eventually went viral.

Social media took that over and since everyone is on there those hidden gems don’t exist now.

Plus people are on there to make money, back in the day content was made for enjoyment.

It’s harder to break out of the echo chamber on YouTube for sure. They f***ed up search

Google f***ed up everything with that AI bullshit

algorithm =/= curator

Had to close the video when he removed the pickles from the Big Mac. There is no greater sin than that.

C'mon...bro was so wholesome he apologized to the viewers for not liking pickles.

the site sucks

youtube coulda actually been a creative platform but they killed it with the algorithm promoted slop watch time bait more than anything else

I will forgive him…but I’ll never forget.
